DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new hair washing sink embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the children's hair washing kit 10 generally comprises a support bowl 12 having a bottom side 14, an open top side 16, a wall 18, a front side 20, and a back side 22. The front side 20 has a contoured neck rest 24 that is configured to receive a neck 26 of a child 28. The child's neck 26 is thus supported by the neck rest 24 and her head 30 may be supported on the bottom side 14 of the support bowl. The bottom side 14 has a drain aperture 32 extending therethrough to release water. The wall 18 has a top perimeter 34. The neck rest 24 may extend forward from the wall 18 and may be concave below the top perimeter 34. The top perimeter 34 has a plurality of cavities 36 that may comprise a center cavity 38 aligned with the back side 14 of the support bowl, a left cavity 40, and a right cavity 42. The support bowl 12 is configured to rest on a floor 44 of a bathtub 46. A suction cup 48 may be coupled to the bottom side 14 of the support bowl and is configured to secure the support bowl 12 to the floor 44 of the bathtub.

A shower head attachment 50 comprises a faucet attachment 52, a hose 54, and a spray head 56. The faucet attachment 52 is configured to selectively engage with a faucet 58 of the bathtub. The hose 54 is coupled to the faucet attachment 52. The spray head 56 is coupled to the hose 54 and has a handle 60 and a head 62. A drain stopper 64 comprises a first stopper 66, a string 68, and a second stopper 70. The first stopper 66 is selectively engageable with the drain aperture 32 of the support bowl and is configured to retain water within the support bowl 12. The string 68 is coupled between the first stopper 66 and the second stopper 70. The second stopper 70 is configured to selectively engage with a tub drain 72 to retain water within the bathtub 46. A plurality of bottles 74 each has a body 76 and a pump dispenser 78. The body 76 of each of the plurality of bottles is selectively engageable within the plurality of cavities 36 of the wall of the support bowl. The plurality of bottles 74 may comprise a soap bottle 80 and a shampoo bottle 82. A rinse cup 84 has a bottom end 86, an open top end 88, and a pour spout 90. The bottom end 86 is selectively engageable within the plurality of cavities 36 of the wall of the support bowl. The plurality of bottles 74 and the rinse cup 84 may thus be securely kept close at hand to the support bowl 12.

In use, the faucet attachment 52 is coupled to the faucet 58 of the bathtub and the support bowl 12 is placed into the bathtub 46. The child 28 may then be placed in the bathtub 46 such that her neck 26 is supported by the neck rest 24 and her head 30 is supported on the bottom side 14 of the support bowl. A parent may then wash the child's hair with both hands free, utilizing the spray head 56, the plurality of bottles 74, and the rinse cup 84.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
